Proofreading & Editing
My love for editing copy stems from my experience as the Copy Editor of the Wanderer, a weekly newspaper serving the towns of Marion, Mattapoisett, and Rochester, reaching a circulation of 5,000. I served in this role during my five years as a News Correspondent for the same newspaper. Since beginning my teaching career, I volunteered my editing skills to the President's Office at St. John Paul II School, for which I proofread & edited time-sensitive documents such as the school's Annual Report and 5-Year Strategic Plan.
I work swiftly and have a keen eye for detail, along with a strong grasp of the minutiae in many style guides: AP Stylebook, APA Style, and MLA Handbook. I will always adapt my proofreading to match your organization's in-house style guide. When editing copy for your organization, I will sign a confidentiality agreement so that the content of your drafts remains secure. When proofreading and editing your academic or creative work, I will offer as much or as little feedback as you request, whether that is checking the accuracy of your citations and fixing any errors in spelling, grammar, or mechanics, or helping you to develop your voice and strengthen your argument. I will never perform edits that violate your academic institution's policy for academic integrity.
I will edit your copy, including but not limited to:
